Dr. Messana is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She never rushes me and answers whatever questions I have. Whenever I've experienced a problem she's called me later to follow up. I feel very secure having Dr. Messana as my primary care physician.

1) Great diagnostician, professional, patient, and knowledgeable.2) Bloodwork handled in the office by staff technician, no lab visits.3) The doctor makes followup calls herself after an sick office visit or to report on lab results.4) Office calls to wish you a happy birthday... :)Downside:1) Solo practice, can wait for a while.

horrible physician who is unknowledgeable..she is misleading with her fake smile and charm..office staff rude and doctor never returns calls..and she always wants you to come in for even the tiniest question you may have which can be answered on the phone..but she is a waste who just wants old peoples money

Dr. Messana is someone who cares deeply about her patients, takes time to think about their situations, and takes time with them to explain things. She is tireless. They don't make them like that anymore!
